MOSES LAKE — Tickets are still available for Brews & Tunes Saturday, the Downtown Moses Lake Association annual blend of music, beverages and fun, according to DMLA Executive Director Mallory Miller.
Brews & Tunes will feature 14 breweries, cideries and distilleries hosted at 16 locations around downtown Moses Lake, according to the DMLA’s website. In addition, there will be a beer garden set up at Sinkiuse Square.
This year’s music will be arranged differently from years past, Miller said. The DMLA has arranged for three bands to perform – The Boyz at Skaug Bros. Carpet, Lake City Blues at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Mann Realty and American Honey on the main stage at the beer garden. In addition, some participating businesses will host musicians of their own choice.
Tickets are available at the DMLA website: $40 for individuals or $65 for a couple, according to the website, and come with seven tasting tickets, a customized five-ounce tasting glass and a tote bag. There is also a VIP ticket option for $65 per person, which includes the same as the regular ticket but also a full-sized drink at the beer garden and a VIP-exclusive tasting glass. VIP ticket holders also get to start the event an hour ahead of everyone else.
There will also be tickets available at the door, Miller said, for an additional $5 each. Online ticket sales end at midnight Friday.

National Night Out
Police departments prepare to meet the public next month
MOSES LAKE — The Ephrata Police Department will host its first National Night Out this year, joining several other Basin communities. “We’ll have static vehicle displays: one of our patrol cars, the fire truck, (and) Lifeline is hopefully going to be joining us with an ambulance,” EPD Office manager Jennifer Hansen said. “We’ll be serving free hot dogs and everyone is invited for a free swim.” The event will be held Aug. 4 at Splash Zone, the city water park, according to Hansen, who took the lead in planning the event. It’s long been a priority of the department to get to where it could host National Night Out, and although this is the first year, Hansen said, it won’t be the last.
